23 minutes into the flight the airbus was cruising at 400 knots some 30,000 feet up when pilot requested emergency landing. then the plane dropped altitude, lost speed and disappeared. the flight crew had reportedly complained of technical problems even before the ill-fated trip began. experts claim islamic state that it shot down airliner noting that the missiles could not reach above 20,000 feet. but the possibility of a bomb on board can't be ruled out yet. already announced they will stop flying over the sinai until the cause of the crash is determined. the in cairo. >> osgood: 27 people were killed and 200 others injured when fire ripped through a nightclub in bucharest, friday night. the band's pyrotechniques

>> osgood: man of the moment, >> osgood: as you can see, we're in the dark. it's not just a belated nod to halloween the taste of what one noted journalist could happen if a hacker managed to sabotage american's power grids.

chip reid. >> reporter: when the lights go out, we usually know why: on the east coast. >> mother nature is at it again. most of the time we manage to get through it. but what if the power went out in a number of states affecting millions of people for weeks, even months? as you were researching this did you personally find yourself getting frightened? >> i think frightening is a little bit tooing to but maybe i should have been. yes, it's frightening. it is frightening enough that my wife and i decided we were going to buy enough freeze dried food for all of our kids and their kids. >> in his book "lights out" veteran journalist ted koppel paints a grim picture of a

in the form of an all-out cyberattack on the nation's electric grid. who are the potential perpetrators here? who do we have to fear the mosts it russia, china, iran, terrorists. >> all those. >> the ones who are most capable of ones least likely to do it. >> there some r are some experts say they're already in. >> they are in. there's no question about it. >> they're in to our grid. >> they are already in the grid. i was told by former chief scientist of nasa. he stated the russians are in, the chinese are in. the iranians may be on the verge. the bottom are folks like isis. terrorist groups. >> the power grid is the system interconnecting north america's supply of electricity. if one area has particularly heavy demand, power from another

region can sometimes serve as back up. the downside to all of this, if a hacker manages to take down an entire grid a huge portion of the country along with parts of canada could go down with it. the primary reason, like so much else these days, the grid relies heavily on the internet. >> we have certain joke in our security industry that there's no secure system. only secure one is unplugged, turned off, buried under concrete. >> larry pesce should know, he gets paid to find glitches in business computer networks. in other words, he's a hacker who works for the good guys. >> in the last six years of me doing testing full time, there's never been a customer that we have been to that we have not gotten in. >> give or take a few seconds

the northeast united states will plunge into -- >> wide scale outages are nothing new. in 1956 a huge blackout in the northeast left more than 30 million without power for almost 13 hours. >> new yorkers are have taken in stride as far as you've been able to see? >> in 1977, new york city was plunged into darkness again, this time resulting in looting and other crimes. >> been massive power outages -- in 200, overgrown trees were partly to blame for a blackout that affected eight states and part of canada, some 50 million people. that one lasted up to four days in some areas. but our next electric failure could be just a key stroke away. >> i'm not sure i know why it

it's not for lack of capability. on various parts whether it be us or enemy. i think it comes down to timing. i think we need to make the right people mad at the right time. >> you would think that one entity that would be ready for something like this is the department of homeland security. >> yes. >> are they ready? >> no. >> i've talked to every former secretary of homeland security they all acknowledge there is no plan. >> he says the current secretary, jeh johnson, didn't offer much guidance either. you described the conversation at prickley at one point. >> it got prickley because i kept asking, what's the plan? why wait until disaster strikes? why not tell, do you have a plan? he just sort of pointed up at a shelf filled with white binders said, look, i'm sure there's something up there somewhere. >> we wanted to find out for ourselves but both the white

declined our request for an the department of homeland security also refused to speak on camera, instead we were given a statement which reads in part: to be clear, the department of homeland security has a plan. we, along with the department of energy coordinate national efforts to strengthen the security and resilience of the electric grid. we also work with energy sector partners to promote the security and resilience of the grid, through myriad activities both seen and unseen. next we reached out to some of the big electric companies. they refused to speak to us as well. >> ted koppel says the government basically has no plan, is he right? >> no, he's not right. >> we turned to paul stockton a former defendant department official whose duties included cybersecurity. >> the government is building plans very, very quickly now to help manage the consequences of

an attack on the grid but also to make sure that government systems are more resilience against attack. >> are the power companies today prepared to respond to a large scale power attack on the grid? >> power companies today are strengthening their ability to respond to an attack and restore power more quickly. >> stockton admits -- their ready suns not where it needs to be given that the adversary continues to strengthen the sophistication of the weapons that will be used against the united states. >> ironically it's our less sophisticated electric providers who may have an edge here. >> this is the south canal system. >> take the delta montrose electric association in southwest colorado, one of 900 rural power cooperatives in the united states. it serves some 28,000 customers

and is far less internet dependent. ceo jason bronez what degree do you rely on the internet? >> most of our internet is for noncritical functions. >> if somebody hacked into your system how vulnerable would you be? >> all of our systems have extensive amount of backups. and we have manual overrides that would allow us to continue to operate. >> would you consider changing to a system that relies heavily on the internet? >> we would not. >> accounts for 12% of the america's power distribution servicing approximately 42 million people in 47 states. none of these co-ops relies on the internet for distribution of power. but as koppel sees it, it's too late for utilities elsewhere to follow suit and pull the online >> i don't think so we're ever

there are too many advantages to the internet. even if it has the capacity to wreak enormous damage and all i'm saying is, at least wake up to what its capabilities are. >> and since there's no turning back, it's important to think ahead. so what does the average family actually need to be doing? do they need to be as step koppel has done stock up on water and freeze dried food? >> those are very important measures. average citizens needs to be able to take care of their own families and their own neighborhoods and their own communities and not assume that uncle sam is somehow going to magically bring in the cavalry and rescue them. >> you is said to our grandchildren, named seven grandchildren, sheer hoping that opie, meaning you, got it wrong. >> right. >> cow think you might have gotten it wrong? >> of course.

no. i spent a year and a half trying to get it right. and unfortunately i think i did. >> osgood: we get to the point next. i could feel our deadlines racing towards us. we didn't need a loan. we needed short-term funding. fast. our amex helped us fill the orders. just like that. you can't predict it, but you can be ready. another step on the journey. will you be ready when growth presents itself.

november 1st, 1863, 15 years ago today. a day to write home about. for that was the day the future fountain pen magnate george s. parker was born in shullsburg, wisconsin. annoyed by fountain pens that leaked, young parker began to design his own. he founded the parker pen company ingansville, wisconsin, in 1888 at the age of 25. one his first patent the very next year. many other non-leak designs were to follow, and parker became one of the world's largest pen manufacturers. even sherlock holmes arthur sir arthur conan doyle sang parker praises. for years it was a family affair. witness this photo of parker and his son kenneth, posing with the

the parker pen band in 1925. an aviation enthusiast, he even had a plane decked out in the colors of his duofold model pen. george parker died in 1937 at the age of 73. but his pens lived on. even used to sign both the german and the japanese surrenders at the end of world war ii. in recent years, parker pens has gone through series of ownership changes and relocations. in 2009 the company announced it was closing its janeville plant. still, at least one parker legacy remains in parker pens' hometown. a six bedroom brick home that once belonged to the parker family was purchased in 2010 by the local congressman, paul ryan, who was elected just this

terry bradshaw? what a surprise! you know what else is a surprise? shingles. and how it can hit you out of nowhere. i know. i had it. that's why i'm here. c'mon let's sit down and talk about it. and did you know that one in three people will get shingles? i didn't know that. i did. he's on tv saying it. but have you done anything? (all) no. that's why i'm reminding people like you to ask your doctor or pharmacist about your risk of getting shingles. because if you had chickenpox then the shingles virus is already inside you. (all) oooh. who's had chickenpox? scoot over. me too! when i got shingles i had this ugly band of blisters and look that nasty rash can pop up anywhere and the pain can be even worse than it looks. so talk to your doctor or pharmacist. we all in? (all) yes! good, 'cause if not we're gonna watch highlights

i know, talk about pain. seriously now, talk to your doctor or pharmacist today about a vaccine that can help prevent shingles. >> as our rita braver has been doing. >> if you look all of the paintings that i love, these are the paintings where great powerful men are being celebrated on the big walls of museums throughout the world.

what feels strange not to be able to see a reflection of myself in that world. >> kehinde wiley set out to create a new paradigm. men of color painted in classical style often echoing master works. images are considered so hip they even been used as a backdrop in a fox series "empire." >> yes, indeed. >> with paintings selling for as much as $400,000 the work is considered important enough though he is only 38, survey of his career is now on view at the modern art museum of fort worth after opening hats the brooklyn museum. >> his work had broad appear.

hip hop and street culture. >> but eugenie tsai, of the brooklyn museum, the paintings have undeniable artistic merit as wiley's version of st. andrew. there's so many ways you can read the face of this young man, deliberate do you think? >> i think it's deliberate. one of the hallmarks of great art is a little bit of ambiguity, where things aren't spelled out for you, there's room for interpretation on the part of the viewer. >> over the top persona, he has been compared to andy war hall and like war hall he's a celebrity magnet. michael jackson commissioned this portrait, vh1 ordered up a whole series. it's been a hard road to fame. he was raised in los angeles where his mom ran a second-hand

goods store to support the family. about how old were you when you started to click that, hey, this is what i like to do, art's what i'm all about? >> my mother sent me to art classes at the age of 11. i began to have kids around me say, will you make drawings for me? will you make a painting for me? it really clicked. >> he was good enough to earn a masters of fine arts from yale. in 2002 prestigious artist in he is dense slot at the studio museum in harlem. it was in harlem that he found this mug shot on the street. >> it crystallized something, which is that black men have been given very little in this world and that i as an artist have power and potential and the will to do something about it. >> so he, and team of helpers, began pounding the pavements of

if they would like to be photographed and painted in classical style. but some critics have charged that wiley is actually exploiting his subjects and that the work is cartoonish. does that hurt or do you look at it as a learning experience? >> you can't allow that to be what dictates your work. you have to say that, they're talking about me. >> and he can mischievous, take close look at napoleon leading the army across the alps. >> in small ways i'm taking little jabs at the masculinity, the bravado, there is sperm cells, all of this taking this masculinity down to the most essential component. >> there are these intimate portraits in 15th century flem sixh style. >> this particular portrait has

>> this is the first time i've done portrait of someone that i've been romantically involved with, this is a perfect way of having artistic ain't pir rakes and personal stories come together. >> wiley has traveled the world painting young men from brazil to morocco to israel. and now he's added women to his artist pick rep power. as shown in the pbs documentary "an economy of grace" he once again chose models from the new york street. but this time he didn't paint them in their street clothes but in designer gowns. and fantastic hairdos. >> the colors aren't quite right yet. >> much of the work at second studio where in tradition dating back to the renaissance,

assistants do much of the background work. this is a rare wiley painting where the subject turns away from us. >> what it does is it heightens the picture even more so, it charges because we want it more. >> and right now the world seems to want more of kehinde willie which still amazes him. >> i started making work that i assumed would be far too garish, far too decadent, far too black for the world to care about. i do -- to this day and thankful to whatever force there is out there that allows me to get away with painting the stories of people like me.

count. >> osgood: while we slept the clocks fell back we're now on standard time. which means it's about time for a look at the extremes of time keeping.

we begin with the watch on my wrist, small in every way. except for its $25,000 price tag. martha teichner examens the patek philippe mystique. >> luxury swiss watch maker patek philippe is discrete about the famous owners of its time pieces. ostentatious they aren't. expensive, they are. >> we generally start about $12-13,000 we go up. there are some very complex pieces that are over several million dollars. >> larry pettinelli is president of p.m. usa. >> this particular watch has two distinct chimes in it. >> it's beautiful. >> how much does that cost? >> approximately $400,000. >> to understand why you have to turn it over.

all the fancy mechanical things it does are called complications. and patek philippe watches tend to be very complicated indeed. which is why the company found itself with a problem. people to repair them in the digital age are hard to find. so the 175-year-old company decided to open its own watch school at its new york city offices. around 300 people applied. six were whoas en. start by telling me what personal characteristics you students? >> we need people who are committed, so commitment is a big quality i would say. patience, of course. >> master watch maker laurent junod heads the school. >> we do a training program here that is two years long.

>> i want to be as good as laurent. >> patek philippe will hire them. they will move from here to here. to a lifetime of silence and precision and learning. >> ever since i was a little boy i wanted to be a match waker. >> after 1 years at patek philippe, jason bird works on watches like the one he showed us through a microscope. >> every day around midnight we change the date. >> it can tell you accurately what year, what month, what day it is. even in leap years. >> it automatically goes to february 29th. mechanical. there's no computer. in this season of smart watches, patek philippe figures its

this is a very smart watch. and that watch makers have a future as well as a past. >> osgood: still to come. >> trying to be a comedian. that word trying. that's right. >> talking talk with talk show host bill maher. later, remembering the it's the story of america- land of the doers. doin' it. did it. done. doers built this country. the dams and the railroads. john henry was a steel drivin' man hmm, catchy. they built the golden gates and the empire states. and all this doin' takes energy -no matter who's doin'. there's all kinds of doin' up in here. or what they're doin'. what the heck's he doin? energy got us here. and it's our job to make sure there's enough to keep doers doin' the stuff doers do...

sometimes the present looked bright. sometimes romantic. there were tears in my eyes. and tears in my eyes. and so many little things that we learned were really the biggest things. through it all, we saved and had a retirement plan. and someone who listened and helped us along the way. because we always knew that someday the future would be the present. every someday needs a plan. talk with us about your retirement today. >> ask all the candidates, what's your biggest weakness? who is going to answer that honestly? wouldn't it be awesome if they did if they had truth serum. i put my personal ambitions

before the good of the country. >> here again is charles osgood. >> osgood: from his hbo show past friday night demonstrates, seems bill maher will say just about anything to get a laugh or reaction. unapologetic. >> if you didn't see the debate let me cut to the chase. none of them got suddenly smart. >> some topics that are off limits? boring. or not newsworthy. >> there was a war in the north and south -- >> before that how about geography lesson. africa. >> where is africa. >> no boring here. maher's hbo show frequent stop for a-list celebrities. politicians from both sides of the aisle who without network

crowd. unless you started doing your own show. >> how did you get it right? >> comedy central was new. they asked me if i had any ideas, get people from different walks of life with different ideologies, different levels of intellectual. put it together into a delightful. >> this is politically incorrect. >> premiered in 1993. then as now, his guest list was stunning. jay came on. so did george. and jerry. >> my tv show when we first did the pilot -- >> you really need a plug at this point? >> i would hardly say a plug. >> moved to abc in 1997 was doing well until 2001 when in the week after 9/11 maher said this. >> standing in the airplane when it hits the building, say what you want. >> you regret saying it? >> absolutely not.

>> took me a long time. >> in that time returning to alcatraz has become a bit easier for some. >> it's not bad. you know, i'm getting used to being here. and i can leave when i want to. that's the main thing. >> osgood: coming up. just for kicks. my li'l buddy? and what if this happened again? i was given warfarin in the hospital but i wondered if this was the right treatment for me. then my doctor told me about eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots, but eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. knowing eliquis had both... turned around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to.

don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt & pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made switching to eliquis right for me. ask your doctor if it's right for you. wait... wait... perfect. at del monte, green beans are packed at the peak of freshness with just water and a dash of sea salt. nothing else.

instead. jodi is the oldest of gregg's two daughters. no boys, other than the 40 or so he pretty much adopts every year. >> after school is football. on the weekends is football. off season, it's football. >> imagine jodi's surprise when her dad recently announced he would kit coaching. >> i just got to thinking one of these days i'm going to blink my eye my daughters are going to be done and i'm going to us some something. >> the sport that had mattered so much for so long, will now be replaced by cheer competitions and girls softball games. >> like, i can't even wrap -- he's giving this up for me. i need to do something for him. >> which brings us back to that extra point. if you look closely you'll notice the kicker has a pony tail. jodi practiced for months, got the team's permission, and scored one for her dad. the final point in his last home

>> i just darted straight for my was the best. that was the best hug. >> that was very exciting to see your daughter running off the field like that in full uniform. >> better than a boy? >> oh, yeah, absolutely. i wouldn't trade anything for my nothing. i mean if i had to go back do it all over again i'd say i want them two right there. >> and that's the great thing about young men who think they want a boy. they grow up to be old dads, who know better. >> six of the 13 band mates. >> osgood: next, gloria gets her day in lights. later, big ben.e copd, it can be hard to breathe. it can be hard to get air out, which can make it hard

>> get on your feet >> i started as sophomore in college because of the education i was able to whip through a double major and communications major and french minor, no music. i thought i had to get a job. it irks me when i say that the american dream is dead. because that cannot be further from the truth. this is one of the few countries in the world that doesn't put limitations on you, only you put them on yourself. you are willing to work hard and persevere, follow your dreams and your passion get ready to get a lot of no,find your way around those, this is the place, the dream place to do that. >> perfect. >> her partner is the only man she ever dated. >> keep that tension up. >> multi-grammy winning producer emelio estefan. >> what was the first thing you noticed about gloria. >> her eyes.

it collided with a tractor trailer. >> the accident happened on snowy pennsylvania highway in march of 1990. >> hovering over me is emelio bleeding from god knows where. he's going, babe. i can't get up. babe, i can't get up. i think i broke my back. >> she had broken her back, took rescuers to arrive. >> what were you thinking during that whole time on the bus? >> i wanted her alive. i started thinking -- >> she was told she might never walk again let alone perform. she returned here, to the couple's home on star island in miami. where gloria started intense and painful physical therapy in this swimming pool. >> little by little, the exercise -- >> how many hours a day? >> rehabbing between six and seven hours a day.

atlantic. >> big big ben has been chiming out the hours for 156 years. or has it? what is probably the world's most famous clock has not only been the heartbeat of london through the bbc's radio broadcasts it is arguably been the way the world has kept time. big ben has now been set to glenn itch meantime -- greenwich meantime. but it turns out big ben's reputation for reliability has taken a bit of a hit. frank ly, the thing has always been a little temperamental. the ancient clockwork may be charming example of the engineering but never been particular accurate.

the temperature. and people like ian westworth who maintain the clock have literally had time on or in their hands. he's been using coins to adjust the clock and he's got it down to a science. >> putting on or taking off a penny on the pendulum like this you speed up or slow down the clock by two-fifths of a second in 24 hours. >> last summer big ben was a whole six seconds out of whack. it's crunch time for big ben. a special committee studying the clock is considering whether the whole thing is so clapped out it needs to be shut down and rebuilt. a process that could take years. it's even been suggested the 14 foot long minute hands may be ready to fall off because their bearings are shot. but stopping the clock says

newspaper columnist would be like stopping london itself. >> it's not necessarily tradition, it's deeper than that. this is the marrow in our bones. this old clock. >> one clock? >> one clock. the thought of it not being there or one hand flying off heaven forbid the thing going digital is too gruesome to consider. >> what's worse the prospect of losing big ben comes at a time when many of the famous symbols of old london seem to be disappearing. the much loved hop on hop off buses are gone. the old red phone boxes are only for the tourists since the advent of you know what. london's famous black cabs are now threatened by uber. yet some things got to be done, the thick they stop itself if it isn't fixed they are actually running out of time.

need of urgent repair as well. unlike the buses, though, big ben's case you have to think they will find a way. >> i think the british people have always been very romantically attached to the great symbols of the past. we cherish things, we're a small place, we have to get used to making due with the old because there isn't space to build the new. but it's such a beautiful thing, i think that this legitimately worshipped because it's not just to do with the old it's the fact that it's dainty dinky looking thing, pity if it weren't there. it would be wonderful if it were kept. it would be disaster if it goes.ural foods. save up to $5 on select bags of blue buffalo wilderness
